Stumbled across this one from a friend, didn't really take any detailed notes, however this was on of the best barrel aged stouts I can recall in some time, had this at the wrong temp, way too cold, however it has all the necessities of a solid barrel aged stout, deep mouthfeel, complex flavot profile and just damn smooth as can be, wonderful beer...son!!

(On tap @ MBCC 2017 Yellow Session, Copenhagen) Pours black with a tan head. Notes of beautiful coffee that has tones of wood and earth, vanilla, soft whiskey, dark caramel malt, moderate chocolate, some charred/burnt roasty quality, semi-sweet overall with moderate bitterness from the roast, wood and ample coffee. Pretty full bodied and slick with soft carbonation and hidden alcohol. Quite nice, the MT barrel-aged coffee usually seems to lend a lovely character for those who enjoy coffee-centric beers. No idea why this is an ASA and not a stout, it sure drinks like one!

Black pour with a thin beige head and light sticky lacing .... Aroma is of intense fresh coffee, roasted malts, bitter cocoa, light vanilla and bourbon .... taste is of fresh roasted coffee, roasted malts, bourbon, bitter cocoa, sweet malt, dry oak, sweet caramel and vanilla ... medium body and the mouthfeel has some oil and slickness .. carbonation is soft and the finish is a little boozy with lots of coffee and cocoa with light bourbon and vanilla .... drinks more like an imperial stout honestly ... has lots of complex malt qualities, but the bourbon and coffee flavors are so overwhelming and tasty ... what a freaking awesome brew ... mouthfeel is slick and oily and thick body
